Saltwater Hank is a Ts’msyen musician from Txałgiiw (aka Hartley Bay) based in Lax Kxeen (Prince Rupert BC). His melodies are the perfect dose of musical medicine, like a spoon full of oolichan grease. He connects listeners and the members of his culture by reliving his heritage through the music, creating a bridge between the old and the new, allowing present generations to experience the ancient oral traditions of his culture in a vibrant and powerful way. His stories breathe life into forgotten narratives and revive the power of the traditional language to shape a new generation of storytellers. Saltwater Hank is here to keep the art and sound of his culture alive and growing.

The evening will start with a set from fellow BC songwriter and accordionist Danny Bell, whose most recent album was recorded in an abandoned sawmill.

Doors at 7:00, show at 7:30.

Tickets $20 in advance, $25 at the door.
